Bring the serene and poetic spirit of the Lunar New Year into your home with this evocative masterpiece. Painted by Henry Li in the early spring of 2026, this original work captures a poignant moment of reflection and beauty through the timeless tradition of Chinese ink and wash.
Artistic Vision & Composition
In this piece, Henry Li explores the theme of Nostalgia (思故鄉). Against a misty, snow-dusted backdrop, two horses find solace under the soft glow of a distant moon.
The Subjects: A spirited bay horse looks upward, perhaps calling out to the night sky, while a gentle white horse grazes quietly among the winter blooms.
The Plum Blossoms: Sprigs of pink plum blossoms—the first sign of spring—emerge through the snow, symbolizing resilience and the promise of new beginnings.
The Inscription: The elegant calligraphy reads "明月千里思故鄉" (Míngyuè qiānlǐ sī gùxiāng), which translates to: "Thinking of home while under the bright moon from a thousand miles away."

Why This Piece?

Henry’s signature "freestyle" (Xie Yi) brushwork allows the ink to breathe, creating a sense of movement and atmosphere that a print simply cannot replicate.
